Notes: This pimp post was originally posted in aroma_teaparty. Because the community had been deleted, I decided to repost this to my own journal. I am still mourning over the loss of four pages of comments there... I know most of the links I posted here are broken but Arashi's streaming videos have been taken down really fast lately and I couldn't find the substitutes. Feel free to tell me if you have other links/sources to the videos. Now, I'm also a contributor at Arashidex (links below), where you can find more links and informations. Please credit me, jadeswallow and give a link back to this entry if you want to copy anything from this pimp post. Thanks!

If you’re in Asian fandom, you must have heard of Arashi, but who are they? Do you want to know more about them? Are you a newcomer in this fandom and confused about where you should start? Fear not because this pimp post will introduce you further of an idol group which is so popular in Japan that their popularity is labeled as a social phenomenon.

Ongoing Arashi fic recs. The list is not finished yet.

I've been keeping this for months and I'm going to keep adding fics into this list later. You may want to bookmark this entry in case you need it. Is there any brilliant fic out there that is not in my list yet? I might have missed a few, considering the amount of fics ever published in this fandom, so please comment with your recommended fics, I welcome any suggestion!

Notes, summaries, and warnings were copied from the author themselves. I restrained listing too many fics from the same author or I'll end up recommending all of their works. If you see the same author's name over and over again, then they're my favorites and I urge you to check out their fic comms for more brilliantly-written stories~

And the non-Arashi ones. Also ongoing. As you can tell, I haven't read much non-Arashi fics yet.

I'm sorry if this is the first entry you see after new year, but....


FRIENDS-CUT


If you can read THIS, that means you have survived the cut.

That being said, Happy New Year and good luck for 2012!

Tell me about your love, your hate, your indifference, your joy. Tell me about what's inside of you when you're reading through these entries on your friends list, and tell me why you continue to come back here. Tell me anything. Tell me what you really think of me or yourself. Anything.

P.S If anyone want to be added back (there are 77 of you here, idek where did you find me from!), feel free to leave a comment in my introduction post.

I have finally created my own fic community. Check it out!

From now on, I'll post my writings there, but old fics will still be redirected to this journal.




P.S I LOVE how Jun is the only one who looks right at the camera in my header. Matsujewn, loving the camera since 1983 ♥

YAY! I've finished editing my layout! I think. For now. Oh well, I'm a perfectionist after all, so I might edit it again later. But for now, check it out!

I've succesfully made my own header although I only have super basic photoshop skill! Yay~!


Just tell me something, is it hard to read fic with this layout? If is it hard, I may have to change the comment pages to LJ default again. Or I have to create a special comm for it, despite not really writing too many fics and not sure when I will write again.

Is it hard to read fic with this layout?

Should I make a special comm for fic?

Who is the cutest one in my header?

I have bought the christmas cards! ♥ I probably only have 2-3 cards left, so if you want a card, please tell me your address here.


And yes, I just cut some friends. Basically the reasons are still the same with my first friends-cut. If you think I have made a mistake, feel free to comment here.
